Lindsay Lohan’s lawyer has vowed to take action against the woman who has accused the actress of shoving her in an alleged altercation at a Los Angeles nightspot – if she is found to have made a false statement to police.

The unnamed female claims she became embroiled in a spat with Lohan at the Standard Hotel on Thursday night and filed an incident report with the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Department over the weekend.

However, Lohan’s representative insists the actress was at home at the time of the alleged incident.

Police officers are investigating the allegations, and the star’s lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, has now revealed she is hoping for a prosecution if the woman is found to have not been honest with cops.

She tells TMZ.com, “If it’s true that someone made false accusations against Ms. Lohan and reported those false claims to police, we will take appropriate action, which includes seeking the prosecution of that individual.”

Lindsay Lohan’s publicist has dismissed allegations the actress was involved in a nightclub altercation on Thursday night.

An unnamed woman filed a police report with the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Department over the weekend claiming Lohan attacked her when she found her talking to a male friend.

Police officials plan to investigate the woman’s claims, but the star’s representative, Steve Honig, tells TMZ.com, “Lindsay was absolutely not involved in any sort of altercation whatsoever. This is clearly another case of someone looking for money and 15 minutes of fame.”

Lindsay Lohan is determined to remain focused on rebuilding her film career now her probation has been terminated, admitting it feels like a “tremendous weight” has been lifted from her shoulders.

The actress regained her freedom on Thursday, when Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner officially closed the case on her 2007 conviction for driving under the influence.

Judge Sautner warned the star to remain on her best behavior as she is still on informal probation for last year’s necklace theft conviction, and she will remain so until May 2014, but Lohan is just relieved to put the bulk of her troubles behind her.

She tells TMZ.com, “It’s just been a tremendous weight that I feel like has been lifted off my shoulders and I feel really grateful and just happy and ready to move forward.”

The actress, who has a string of arrests and run-ins with the law on her record, reveals she forced herself to turn her life around after realizing she was speeding towards self-destruction.

She says, “I think that you know, first of all growing up and kind of just sitting back and seeing that I had worked so hard to be something that I wanted to be, which is in this industry, and then I kind of let it all fall apart, so kind of sitting back and looking at that and saying, ‘OK, this is not what I signed up for, like, wake up.’

And Lohan is grateful to Judge Sautner for realizing her downfall was partly due to the lack of “structure” in her life, so she decided to build the star’s community service sentence and therapy requirements around a strict timetable.

But now Lohan is keen to get back to work with an upcoming TV biopic about the late Elizabeth Taylor, and she’s not about to let anything get in the way of staying on the straight and narrow.

She adds, “I’ve never placed blame on paparazzi and that sort of thing for what I’ve done. It doesn’t help, and it is very stressful, but at the same time it’s part of what comes with the position that I’d like to be in as an actress and that sort of thing. I think that I became more of a celebrity and I’d rather bring the focus back to what it is that I love to do and what it is I originally started in this business for, which is acting, and I think that with the help of this being in my past and staying focused, that’s something I can achieve.”

Lindsay Lohan’s probation for a 2007 conviction for driving under the influence has officially been terminated.

The star was given the all clear from Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner during her final progress hearing on Thursday.

Lohan won the judge’s approval after successfully fulfilling the 120 hours of community service and counselling sessions she had been ordered to complete following a 2011 necklace theft conviction, when she was already on probation for her 2007 incident.

The embattled star had previously been threatened with 270 days behind bars if she violated her probation again, but the suspended jail term was dismissed on Thursday.

Judge Sautner said, “She has done everything this court has asked of her.”

However, Lohan was warned to remain on her best behavior as she is still on probation for last year’s theft, and will remain so until May, 2014.

Expressing some sympathy to the star over the permanent paparazzi presence, Judge Sautner told her, “Obey all rules. It’s not that hard. I know that it can be hard when people are following you about the place, but that’s the life you chose.

“Stop nightclubbing and focus on your work… You don’t need to come to court anymore… I don’t expect to see you again.”

Lohan then thanked the judge, saying, “I just wanna say thank you for being fair. What you’ve done has really opened a lot of doors for me and I really appreciate it.”

After the hearing was brought to a close, Lohan hugged her lawyer, Shawn Holley, and gasped, ‘Oh my god.”

The actress has recently been working on getting her career back on track and this week as confirmed to make a guest appearance on the current season finale of hit TV comedy “Glee.”

Lohan has also been granted a work permit to head to Toronto, Canada, where she will soon begin filming a TV biopic as Dame Elizabeth Taylor, based on the late Hollywood legend’s love affair with Richard Burton.

Lindsay Lohan’s mother Dina has advised the actress to stay at home and “live in a bubble” to avoid getting into trouble as she nears the end of her probation.

The star has been on her best behavior in recent months as she fulfils her community service hours and attends therapy sessions relating to her 2011 conviction for a probation violation.

Her final progress hearing is set for next Thursday, and Lohan is determined to reach the date without further controversy following allegations she was involved in a hit-and-run incident outside a Hollywood nightclub last week.

The actress has dismissed the accusations as “false” and “absurd,” and her mom admits she’s since told Lindsay to stay indoors to ensure her last few days on probation remain drama free – because Dina’s convinced the paparazzi are out to cause trouble.

In a phone interview with talk show host Wendy Williams on Thursday morning, Dina Lohan says, “I said (to Lindsay) do not leave the house!

“She’s coming down the home stretch and the paparazzi is just stalking her right now and trying to do anything, crash her car, just trying to hurt her before her court date on the 29th and we just wanna put this behind us. So I said, ‘Live in a bubble for the next two weeks and everything’s over…’ and she’ll be free and clear to live her life.”

Lindsay Lohan has already lined up work to get her career back on track and is due to portray a young Dame Elizabeth Taylor in upcoming TV biopic “Liz and Dick,” about the late Hollywood legend’s love affair with Richard Burton.

And Dina is delighted her daughter has landed such a major comeback project.

She adds, “It’s an incredible, incredible role for her.”

Los Angeles police are reportedly interested in talking to Lohan about the alleged hit-and-run, in which she’s accused of bumping into a pedestrian, to determine whether a criminal investigation should be pursued.

Lindsay Lohan is to be questioned by police after she was allegedly involved in a hit-and-run outside a Los Angeles nightclub on Wednesday.

The actress has denied she accidentally bumped into an unidentified man with her Porsche as she left The Sayers Club in the early hours, calling the report “a complete lie”.

However, the actress is not yet in the clear over the incident. Police want to talk to Lohan to determine whether a criminal investigation should be pursued, according to TMZ.com.

Lohan took to Twitter.com earlier this week to maintain her innocence after she was accused of driving into the man.

She wrote, “Scrape? This is all a complete lie. I’ve been at community service. Last night, I attempted to wish a friend happy birthday, which I didn’t even get to do because I was freaked out by all of the paparazzi.

Lindsay Lohan has blasted allegations she was involved in a hit-and-run outside a Hollywood nightclub in the early hours of Wednesday, insisting it’s all “a complete lie.”

The star is accused of accidentally striking a man with her Porsche as she left The Sayers Club just after midnight.

She was photographed speaking to police moments after driving away from the scene of the alleged incident, and it has since been reported that the unidentified male has sought medical attention at a hospital for injuries.

Editors at TMZ.com also claimed the man planned to press charges.

But Lohan has now spoken out about the allegations in a bid to clear her name – and she’s adamant no such hit-and-run occurred even though she admits she did briefly stop by the club.

Taking to Twitter later on Wednesday morning, she writes, “Scrape? This is all a complete lie. I’ve been at community service. Last night, I attempted to wish a friend happy birthday, which I didn’t even get to do because I was freaked out by all of the paparazzi.

“These false accusations are absurd.”

The actress is working to get her career back on track after a string of legal issues and rehab stints.

In the opening monologue, castmembers covertly tried to determine whether the “Mean Girls” star was under the influence – funnyman Keenan Thompson even shined a flashlight in her eyes to see if she was high.

Former “SNL” regular Jimmy Fallon then told Lohan, “Everybody makes mistakes but that doesn’t mean you can’t shake them off. You can do this – but if for any reason you can’t, Jon Hamm’s on standby as back-up host,” before pointing out the “Mad Men” star in the audience.

Kristen Wiig also pulled Lohan in for a reassuring embrace, which turned into a full-body frisking – but she covered it up by insisting, “I’m a lesbian now!” to which the host quipped, “Been there, done that.”

Further poking fun at her reputation, Lohan headed behind bars in another sketch to scare young delinquents straight by telling them that petty theft is a path that ends “in Malibu in rehab.”

The actress was sentenced to 120 hours of community service and counseling sessions following a necklace theft conviction in early 2011, when she was already on probation for a 2007 DUI incident.

Lohan, who has hosted SNL three times before, previously said she hopes the TV appearance will help to restore her professional reputation, which nosedived after regular run-ins with the law and a series of stints in jail and rehab.

Actress Lindsay Lohan is so determined not to upset the judge overseeing her probation she has asked her lawyer Shawn Holly to vet the comedy sketches she’ll appear in on “Saturday Night Live” this weekend.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner was full of praise for the actress during her latest hearing last month, during which she gave the star permission to leave California and film “SNL” in New York – and Lohan doesn’t want to upset her.

So she took all skit ideas to Holley – to make sure she wouldn’t anger or annoy the judge.

In an interview on “Today,” she explains, “I spoke with my attorney and asked her (because) I didn’t want to be disrespectful to my judge because she’s been really wonderful to me and helped with a lot.

“So I’ve asked if certain things would be inappropriate or off-limits because I wanted to be in the clear. Some of the things were acceptable and so we’ll see if we can get them together and write them the right way.”

Lohan admits she sent “SNL” creator Lorne Michaels “harassing emails” until he agreed to let her kick off her comeback as the host of the comedy show.

The actress accepts her reputation took a big hit following regular run-ins with the law and a series of stints in jail and rehab over the last two years, and she needed the chance to revive her career with a gig on “SNL.”

She says, “I’m really lucky because Lorne Michaels has really… he’s really been supportive of me. I actually went and emailed him and kind of was harassing him to meet with him and (ask him to) let me do the show. And he believes in me and so it’s just a process and I’m willing to go through that process and prove that I can be accountable.

“I want to poke fun at myself… I think if I’m going to do a sketch about X or Y, this is the place to do it.”
